[Alicia Mattson]

We have an electronic mail ballot.


*Votes are due to the LNC-Business list by August 23, 2016 at 11:59:59pm
Pacific time.*
*Co-Sponsors:*  Starchild, Vohra, Harlos, Demarest

*Motion:*  amend the resolution adopted in Email Ballot 2016-03 as follows:

WHEREAS, Libertarians affirm that self-defense is an inherent human right;*
and*



WHEREAS, the Platform of the Libertarian Party opposes all laws at any
level of government restricting, registering, or monitoring the ownership,
manufacture, or transfer of firearms or ammunition;* and*



WHEREAS, the Platform of the Libertarian Party affirms the right of due
process and deny*denies* the legitimacy of *laws against *“victimless *"*
crimes”;* and*



WHEREAS, the government*s in the United States have *has steadily
encroached upon these rights by illegitimately regulating and restricting
access for *to *firearms and ammunition and may further seek to deprive
people who have been convicted of no crime of their inherent right to
full *abrogate
civil rights, and indeed the basic human right, to *self-defense by
*prohibiting
access *denying their civil and inherent rights to obtain firearms and
ammunition* even in cases where a person has not been convicted of any
crime*;* and*


*WHEREAS some recent statements by Libertarian candidates appearing in the
media have the potential to cause confusion among members of the public
regarding how Libertarians view these issues;*


*THEREFORE *BE IT RESOLVED that the Libertarian National Committee opposes
any *law or *policy which would deny *or restrict any person's *access to any
firearms or ammunition to any person simply for being placed *as a result
of their name appearing *on any *a *government watch or no-fly list*,
*and reaffirms
its call to repeal *both our party's opposition to any further *and oppose
any existing or proposed *regulations on *firearm*s* and ammunition *as
described above and our demand that all such existing *regulations* be
repealed, and calls upon Libertarian candidates to uphold our party's
pro-freedom stance*.
